Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day was excellent in our Kindergarten class!
Even though we were having a dance in the afternoon, there was still work to do in the morning!

First we had Show-and-tell where we got to each share something that we love. Students brought in favorite stuffed animals, pictures of family, and favorite toys. Students who didn't bring in something were able to share something that they loved.

Then we worked on our Let's Find Out for this week. It was about what animals might say on Valentine's Day. It was silly, but it was cute. For example, a bunny might say "Hoppy Valentine's Day!" Then it showed us how to say "I love you" two different ways in sign language! Ask your children if they can show you at home :)

After this we did our graph of the week. This week's graph was "Do you like Summer, Fall, or Winter best?" I bet you can't guess which one almost all of the children picked.... SUMMER! We discussed each season and the different characteristics of each one and then each child had the chance to come and put their person on the graph and tell what they enjoy about the season that they chose. The season that got the most, Summer, had 10 children choose it. The season that got the least, Fall, had zero children choose it. Winter was in the middle with 1 child and Ms. O choosing it. I guess these guys are looking forward to Summer time!!

Then we had the Valentine's Dance. It was absolutely AMAZING! Everyone had the chance to wear their party clothes to school and they looked picture perfect! We headed over to First ARP where the parents did a fantastic job decorating the church- it looked like the prom! There were also very yummy snacks! The DJ knew exactly what the children wanted to hear! The children danced and danced to Hannah Montana and the Jonas Brothers! They can really move :) I could tell that everyone had a really fantastic time. Thanks to all of the parents that made this awesome event possible!
